In a connector continuity inspection tool having an insertion inspection pin capable of entering one end into a bending space of a lance, the other end of the continuity inspection pin contacts a circuit conductor via an elastic member, and the circuit conductor is moved in a terminal direction. The other end of the insertion inspection pin comes into contact with the elastically biased conductive movable member, the other end of the insertion inspection pin comes into contact with the movable member, and the movable member is energized from the outside. The other end of the insertion inspection pin presses the movable member against the circuit conductor in a contact release direction when the insertion inspection pin comes into contact with the lance (claim 1). The circuit conductor is provided on a circuit board, and an insertion portion for inserting the other end of the insertion inspection pin is provided on the circuit board, and the circuit conductor is continuous in the insertion portion and on the front and back sides of the circuit board. It is also effective that the elastic member comes into contact with the circuit conductor on the front side and the movable member comes into contact with the circuit conductor on the back side (claim 2). It is also effective that the movable member is urged by a conductive second elastic member, and the second elastic member comes into contact with a conductive pin connecting an external circuit. The conduction inspection pin, the elastic member, and the insertion inspection pin are arranged in a first block in which a connector is fitted, and the movable member, the second elastic member, and the conduction pin are arranged in a second block. It is also effective that the circuit board is disposed between the two blocks (claim 4).

The operation based on the above configuration will be described below.
When the terminal is completely inserted into the connector and the flexible locking lance locks the terminal, one end of the insertion inspection pin enters the bending space and the movable member comes into contact with the circuit conductor. Has become. Therefore, the continuity inspection pin is connected to the terminal of the connector and the movable member via the elastic member and the circuit conductor. The external circuit following the movable member and the wire following the terminal are connected in advance to the continuity inspection device, and the terminal, the continuity inspection pin, the elastic member, the circuit conductor, and the movable member are electrically connected to form a closed circuit, and the continuity is established. The inspection device displays the inspection result OK. When the insertion of the terminal in the connector is incomplete and the flexible locking lance remains bent, or when the terminal is completely inserted, the flexible locking lance is bent or deformed due to hooking or deformation. If not restored, one end of the insertion inspection pin abuts against the tip of the flexible locking lance, and the other end of the insertion inspection pin retracts the movable member against the elastic bias. Thereby, the contact between the circuit conductor and the movable member is released, and the continuity inspection device displays an inspection result NG (defective). In addition,
If one end of the continuity test pin is in contact with the terminal even though the terminal is slightly incompletely inserted, the continuity test pin, the elastic member, and the circuit conductor are in contact with each other. Since the inspection pin presses the movable member in the contact release direction, conduction cannot be established, and the inspection result is NG.
